Thing 2 on our list of things to do in NYC this year: Go to Harlem. Eat some good food.
We rode the 2 all the way up to 125th Street this Saturday. After the long ride we stretched out our legs at Marcus Garvey Park - first the playground:
then the overlook:
Quite the view up there. And we had the whole plaza to ourselves! We wandered back and forth until one of us decided it was time to go.
After a bit of strolling we went to Sylvia's, a restaurant we have been meaning to visit for the last 4 years. (4 years in New York! How is that possible?) I couldn't wait to see what Nils thought of the food. He loved the cornbread...
but alas, fell asleep before the collared greens came out. Such is life.
And yes, that is a hamburger in front of Nils. Oliver goes to New York's premier soul food restaurant and orders a burger. What can you do?

I love your adventures! I love that you've made (or are making?) a list of things that are close-by, doable, and affordable; and you're DOING them! Isn't it great? Things you always wanted to do, but you're finally getting out and tackling them. FUN!
That first picture of Nils and Oliver is my favorite. Could Nils be any more adorable than he is in a giant puffy orange jacket??
I second the orange jacket love.
Thanks, ladies! It would be hard for the jacket to get much puffier.
And Heidi - the list is so much fun! Hooray for affordable, creative adventures in your own backyard.
